Chapter 16: Leaving?
Stretching, Kagome sat up and looked around the room. She felt a cold breeze and looked down at her bare chest. Quickly pulled the cover on her
'What the hell?'
She looked over to the left at her silver haired companion and the memories came flooding back.
"Oh shit."
She franticly searched for her clothes, once spotting them she slid out of the bed slowly. A clawed and grasped her wrist and tugged at her slightly. Afraid to look him in the eye, Kagome looked at the ground.
"Hello Inuyasha."
He turned her around and she held onto the cover tighter.
"Let me go."
"Why?"
"Just…please let go."
He looked at her hands as they clinched the covers tighter by the minute, he smirked and pulled her next to him.
"Inuyasha stop."
"Hey Kagome."
He kissed her cheek and let her go. Holding on to the covers, Kagome slid off the bed and grabbed her bra off the floor. Letting the covers fall to her waist, she tried to clasp her bra, but wasn't thinking about how she was doing it and missed. Inuyasha chuckled and slid closer to the edge of the bed and reached for her.
"Let me."
He clasped her bra and ran his fingers down her back, she shuttered slightly and pulled away. Luckily she still had under garments on, so when the cover fell, she was covered.
"Where are you going?"
She didn't answer him so he grabbed her arm and pulled her next to him on the edge of the bed.
"Kagome, what's wrong?"
"N-Nothing."
"Why are you in such a hurry to leave?"
"I'm not."
"Your not even looking me in the eye."
Inuyasha turned her a little more so she was facing him. Once there eyes meet, there was no escaping.
"Inuyasha…I just…..feel a little awkward, being next to you…while I'm dressed like this."
They both looked down at her body covered by only her under garments. Inuyasha laughed.
"I don't…I like it."
She couldn't stop the blush that formed across her cheeks.
"You know what I like more?"
"N-No."
He motioned her to move closer and he leaned towards her ear.
"When your dressed like this and your closer to me."
He pulled her into a embrace. Against her protest, he held her there for a minute and let her go. Even after he let go, Kagome didn't move, she sat there a while. She smiled at him.
"There's no where in the world I would rather be….then right here, right now with you. I wasn't going any where"
"If that's true…you should stay!"
He pulled her on him and rolled farther onto the bed so that she was under him. He laughed at her surprised face.
"You still wanna be right here with me?"
She nodded slowly.
"Even if I strip you now and have my way with you?"
"What the hell do you mean?"
"You know what I mean, I mean like earlier. But this time I'm in full control."
Kagome blushed at the thought.
"I'm serious Kagome. Yes or no?"
"W-What?…get off me. This isn't funny"
"Just give me an honest answer."
She opened her mouth but no words were coming out. She wasn't really sure what he meant but nodded anyway. Inuyasha smirked and kissed her.
Kagome sat up in the unfamiliar bed, in the middle of the day and rolled off. Waking up with clothing on was nice. It wasn't much but she was wearing Inuyasha's shirt, and at least it covered her mostly. She reached for her jeans and slipped them on.
"Where are you going?"
"Well home of coarse."
"But why?"
"Because I do want to shower and let my mom know that I'm ok."
"Call her and shower here."
"No! This isn't my house."
"So?"
"Oh come on, I really think we over stayed our welcome here."
"No way, he knows I'm here."
'Yea but he doesn't know I am and he doesn't know what we just did in HIS apartment.'
"Whatever, its not open for discussion."
Kagome ignored his grunt and left the room. As she was walking, she felt all the weird stares she was getting. She then realized that she looked a mess, her hair was a wreck and she had on Inuyasha's t-shirt and some jeans. Trying to ignore the stares she continued to her house. Walking in she tried to stay quite so her mom wouldn't hear her. She dashed up to her room and jumped in the shower as quick as she could. While in the shower, Kagome looked down at herself and couldn't help but smile when she thought of what happened early that same day. Walking out of the shower, Kagome sighed and sat on her bed.
"Kagome? Are you home?"
"Yea mom, I just got out of the shower, I'll be down in a minute."
Kagome walked down stairs to see her mom, who was sitting in the living room.
"Yea mom…what is it?"
"Oh its just that I didn't know where you were, I called you but you didn't answer the phone. Where were you?"
She stopped and thought of when her phone rang, there was no way she could tell her mom why she couldn't answer the phone.
"Oh, I was at Sango's and I was just a little busy is all."
Her mom shot her a questioning look.
"That's funny because I called Sango and she didn't know where you were."
"Oh well, I left early and was just walked around the neighborhood and um-"
"Please don't lie to me Kagome. Where were you?"
Kagome looked away and heard her mother sigh.
"Fine, don't tell me. But I do hope you didn't do anything that would disappoint me or your father."
With that her mom turned her attention back to her program on the television. Kagome felt a little bad that she couldn't tell her mom the truth, but she didn't think it was the right time for that.
'She probably knows…I mean she brought dad into this.'
She sighed and walked into the kitchen. Her heart fell into a pit of despair as the memories of her father washed over her. She remembered how alone she felt, even though she was only a child when it happened, her pain was real. She leaned on the counter and put her head in her hands. Her cell phone stopped her thoughts.
"Hello?"
"Hey Kags"
"Hey Sango."
"What's the matter, you seem down."
"Oh, its nothing. But do I have a story for you!"
"Spill."
"I cant tell you now, my moms in the other room."
"Oh so its something bad!"
"Well its not bad for me."
Kagome laughed inwardly.
"Ok well, you have to come over…like now!"
"Ok, I'll be there in a minute."
She shut her phone and sighed in relief. She didn't really feel like leaving the house, she was worn out and wanted to sleep but she had to tell someone. She accepted that either way she was going have to leave the house and headed out the door.
"Ok so, what is this story you have to tell me?"
Kagome sat next to her friend.
"Well, last night….I might have…done something I shouldn't have."
"Huh? Is it something I have done?"
"Well I mean with all the hours you and Miroku spend together, I bet you did!"
"No way! You slept with Inuyasha!"
"Shhh, don't be so loud."
"I cant believe you really did it. What was it like?"
"Which time?"
"You mean it was more then once!?"
"Well…yea."
"Whoa…ok so when?"
"This morning."
"Twice in one day!?"
"Kind of. Once this morning and again about a hour or so ago."
"Dude you guys are like robots! Once with Miroku and I'm good for the week."
They both laughed.
"Well they were different. The first time it was like….I don't know, I mean it hurt at first but he kept asking if I was ok. It was like we were expressing our feelings. But the second time…"
Sango smiled as she saw Kagome's face turn red.
"Tell me!"
"Um….he was mostly in control, so I was following his movements."
"Wow…which do you prefer?"
"Um….well, I would say the second time because…..I don't know how to explain it."
Sango burst into laughter. Kagome looked over at her friend.
"What's so funny?"
"I mean it's just that, your like a little kid trying to explain her first rollercoaster ride!"
Sango laughed some more. Kagome punched her arm.
"I'm serious! I just told you about my first experience like that and you laugh!"
"Kags I-"
The knock at her room door interrupted there conversation. Sango walked over and opened it.
"Miroku!"
She threw herself into his arms and kissed him quickly before letting him in.
"Hey Kags."
"Hi Miroku."
"Did I interrupt something?"
Kagome smiled and shook her head.
"Sango, I have some good news."
"Ahhh tell me!"
"Well, you know how I come see you on weekends?"
"Yea and now that you mention it, why are you here?"
"Never mind that….I am actually moving into a apartment in town."
"Oh my! Really?"
Kagome smiled and spoke out loud without thinking.
"Yea and its not that far from here."
They both looked at Kagome.
"How did you know that Kagome?"
She blushed and looked away.
"Um Miroku….I think you should buy a new mattress."
"Sango!"
Miroku looked at them both confused.
"Ok well anyway, Sango I want you to come see it."
"Uh yea sure. Kagome, you don't mind right?"
She shook her head and stood.
"No, I was leaving anyway."
She smiled and said her goodbyes before leaving and walking home. She was tired and wanted to go to bed. She wasn't feeling good, she lied to her mom and started to remember her dad…and then on top of that she was outside in the hot sun…on a school day! How could it get worse?
"Kagome!"
She turned to see Ayame running towards her.
"Oh Ayame, hi."
"Hey, are you free?"
"Well yea but-"
"Great! I really need a shopping buddy!"
Ayame pulled Kagome towards her car and lead her all around the mall, she tried on hundreds of outfits and bought only ten. Once she was done she dropped Kagome off home and pulled off. More tired then ever before, Kagome slid her feet as she climbed the stairs up to her house. Once in her room, she plopped down onto her bed and was trying to fall asleep.
'I need to learn how to say no.'
No matter how she tried, she just couldn't get to sleep. Her thoughts were all that kept her awake, she couldn't stop thinking about her father and she didn't know why. Everything she saw reminded her of him. She stood and walked to her mothers room, and sat on her bed.
"Hey mom…you awake?"
"Yes, what is it?"
"Do you ever miss dad?"
Her mother sat up and looked at her.
"Of coarse I do. What's this all about?"
"Well, I cant help thinking about him, and I don't know why."
"Why?"
She shrugged.
"I mean everything seems to remind me of him. Everything in this house."
"Maybe you need to go away for a while, I mean you've lived here all your life. You should go some where else, far from here."
"I guess."
"Go to bed, we'll talk about it in the morning."
She nodded and walked back into her room. Unwillingly, she fell asleep. The next morning Kagome was in the kitchen eating cereal. Her mother came down the stairs and frowned at her.
"Kagome, how long have you been awake?"
"Since five."
Her mother sat next to her.
"I was thinking and maybe you should go live with your aunt."
"Which one?"
"My sister, Kaede."
"But she lives in America right?"
Her mother nodded.
"I cant….I mean what about school?"
"Just go to school there."
"I don't know."
"Honestly darling, I think its best."
"Of you say so mom."
"Now, you go to school. I'll call Kaede."
She kissed her daughter on the forehead and walked away. Kagome stretched and pushed her bowl away before leaving for school. While in class, Kagome couldn't keep her mind off her dad and the whole leaving thing.
'What would Inuyasha say?'
She looked over at Sango and then at her teacher.
"What am I going to do?"
School seemed to pass by super slowly, it was like she was never gonna leave. When the bell rang Kagome headed for the doorway.
"Hey Kagome!"
She turned to Hojo, who was running towards her. She sighed in frustration and rubbed her neck. What could he want?
"So, how did everything go with your mystery guy?"
"Oh, everything went fine, we are good now."
"Oh that's great!"
"I have to go Hojo, so I'll see you in school tomorrow, kay?"
She put on her best fake smile, then she turned and walked away. She was walking home thinking about how she would tell Inuyasha she was leaving. She finally reached home, walking into the house, she went straight to her moms room. Her mother was sitting at computer desk typing.
"Hey mom, did you call Kaede?"
"Oh yes dear. She said she'll pay for your flight on Thursday."
"Thursday? That's only one day away!"
"Yes, is that a problem, I thought you'd want to leave as soon as possible."
"I guess….um mom, do you mind if I skip school tomorrow? I mean it would be my last full day here."
"Well I guess that's fine."
Kagome nodded and walked up stairs to her room. She pulled out her school books and began her homework.
'Why am I doing this? I shouldn't even be here.'
She rested her head on her desk and looked at her phone. Picking it up, she dialed Inuyasha's number.
"Hey Kagome."
"Hey….um listen, where are you?"
"I'm in a hotel, Miroku kicked me out…ha-ha."
"Ok well um….which hotel?"
"Uh Cooler Inn….why?"
"Um, do you think that maybe….I could come stay with you…like just for tonight?"
"Well, of course."
"Ok, I'll be there in a minute."
She closed her phone and stood. Walking over to her bed, she threw some clothes into her book bag and climb out her window, down into a tree and to the ground. She looked back at her house and sighed.
'Sorry mom, but I need to do this.'
When she reached the hotel ,she hesitantly knocked on the door.
'What am I doing here? I should be home packing…..how am I gonna tell him? Maybe I should just go home and-'
The door opened and she looked up at Inuyasha's smiling face.
"Hey."
He moved aside to let her in.
"Hey."
Closing the door, Inuyasha walked back to the bed and continued watching TV.
"So, why did you want to come all of a sudden?"
"Just wanted to see you?"
Kagome stood there feeling a little awkward. She knew she should tell him she was leaving, but it proved to be to harder then she thought.
"Come sit next to me."
Hesitantly, Kagome sat next to him. She looked out the window and watched the sky get dark.
"Tired?"
"Kinda."
Inuyasha smiled at her.
"So go to sleep, you have school tomorrow right?"
"Well actually, I wanted to spend tomorrow with you."
"Really, all day?"
She nodded and Inuyasha smirked before giving her a quick kiss.
"Ok, now go to sleep."
He laid her down and pulled the covers over her.
"Good night Kagome."
Kagome held back any sign of the feelings that were washing over her. This would be the last time she heard that in a long time.
"Good night Inuyasha."
'I'll tell him tomorrow.'
